Ericsson has been our best defenseman this year while he's been in the lineup, from what I've seen. That doesn't say great things about our blue line, but it's something in his favor. He's surprised me.

I think when it comes to Cleary there's definitely a need for him to up his game. I'd like to imagine that he would be the first to realize this and I'm hoping that with all the minutes he is getting that he is able to find his game soon enough. Understandably the knee's not what it used to be, but here's to hoping his game comes around.

He's seems like fodder at the moment, but it wasn't long ago that the coaches relied on Cleary as a jack of all trades, versatile enough to slot in anywhere and do what was asked of him. Until someone else proves they can step into that role, he'll get his minutes right about where they're currently at.
